A New Era for Westminster Tower

With its enviable location offering panoramic views of London’s skyline, Westminster Tower is being reimagined as a 17-storey masterpiece, crowned by three additional storeys. The redevelopment will feature 28 exquisite apartments and two luxurious penthouses. Each residence will boast unobstructed views of renowned landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the meandering River Thames.

A Lifestyle Steeped in Prestige

Nestled in one of London’s most celebrated areas, Westminster Tower offers more than just breathtaking vistas. A short walk leads to the tranquil St James’s Park, while a quick drive connects residents to the upscale shopping and fine dining experiences of Chelsea and Mayfair. With nearby Waterloo and Vauxhall stations, residents are effortlessly linked to both local and international destinations, from the Eurostar at King’s Cross to major airports like Heathrow and Gatwick.

Architectural Excellence Meets Modern Elegance

The interiors of Westminster Tower are a testament to thoughtful design and craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from its riverside setting, the apartments blend traditional aesthetics with contemporary sophistication. Highlights include engineered timber chevron flooring, bespoke joinery, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the city’s iconic landmarks. Each home is equipped with cutting-edge Miele appliances and an advanced home automation system, ensuring a seamless blend of luxury and convenience.

Amenities That Elevate Everyday Living

London Square’s commitment to excellence extends beyond the residences themselves. Amenities include a 24-hour concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness suite, a private cinema room, and stylish lounges designed for relaxation and socializing. These features promise a lifestyle of unparalleled comfort and sophistication.

A Vision for London’s Future

Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, expressed his enthusiasm for this groundbreaking project: “Westminster Tower represents a significant milestone as we expand London Square’s portfolio into the prime property market. This development embodies our belief in London’s enduring appeal and growth potential.”

A New York ironclad in Lodz?

The modern shape of the building, which resembles an iron, is reminiscent of New York’s Flatrion building, which was constructed in the early 20th century as an office building. The original, unique shape and the iconic nature of the buildings in the context of the site are essentially their only common denominator. Other than that, they are two completely different projects. The New York building is more reminiscent of a townhouse, NEW IRON is a decidedly contemporary design that stands out from the revitalised townhouses of Łódź. In addition, NEW IRON was designed from the very beginning as a unique apartment building, to which the first tenants can already move in, while the adaptation of Flatrion into an exclusive apartment building has only just begun. New Iron is therefore the first residential building with such an unusual shape.

Apartment building recognised in Europe

This is the most visually spectacular development in the centre of Łódź, which impresses with its form, both residents and visitors, and has also been recognised internationally. The NEW IRON project, was among the best architectural projects from across Europe and was awarded the European Property Awards 2024-2025 in the Multifamily Architecture category. The distinction in one of the largest and most important plebiscites in the commercial and residential real estate industry, further emphasises the uniqueness and visual value of the apartment building. Responsible for the building’s design is the Lodz-based architect Marcin Tomaszewski of the REFORM Architekt studio, whose projects not only surprise with their form, architectural and visual concept, but are also awarded in international competitions – this is not his first award in the European Property Awards.

Undoubtedly a unique project!

NEW IRON is one of the most interesting blocks in Poland and the most interesting residential project in Łódź. A distinctive feature of the project is certainly the rounded corner of the building, designed as a glass block running from the second to the sixth storey. On the ground floor, the continuation of the glass tube is a circular column supporting the overhang. On the other hand, the last and highest storey of the building is glazed and forms a single mass with the glass corner. It is worth noting that the joining of the glass elements into one unit – without pillars – required special technology. The building also features large uluprof aluminium windows with a minimum height of 240 cm. – a top-quality product from a top manufacturer in Poland. Such large glazings guarantee ideal illumination of the interiors and are in line with the latest global trends.

– The façade finishing itself is also far from the standards commonly applied in the construction industry. The frames dividing the building’s façade into smaller spaces and the decorative elements in the form of vertical pilasters projecting in front of the building’s façade are finished with graphite-coloured stone, specifically quartz sinters. In the spaces between the windows, decorative elements made of metal were designed. In addition, the façade is decorated with vertical pilasters protruding in front of the building’s façade, in which led lights are hidden,’ says Piotr Leśniak, General Director of Bona Fide Development. Everything in general as well as in detail is coherent with each other and gives an exceptional quality.

Inspiring, exclusive interiors and amenities to a five-star standard!

This modern and exclusive apartment building, offers a total of 37 flats from 42 to 83 m² with large terraces, spacious duplexes from 75 to 125 m² and exclusive penthouses from 142 to 220 m² with a separate lift, which are located in a glass tower. The largest of these has a private exit to the terrace. It is worth mentioning that the height of the flats is 3 m² – which makes for impressive space. The non-standard layouts of the flats allow for various design possibilities – both outside and inside are exceptional! In addition, the apartment building offers ideal space for two commercial premises with areas ranging from 79 to 95 m².

The common areas of the building are also refined in every detail and meet the needs of the residents. On the ground floor, there is a prestigious lobby paved with black stone and elegant wood. Impressive is the impressive stone counter – a place for the concierge, who is a support for both individual residents and business representatives who have decided on a property in this exclusive location. The corridors are also stylish, kept in a black and white colour scheme that gives the interiors an elegant feel. An interesting and undoubtedly luxurious feature is the communal space on the roof of the apartment building, which reflects its elite character.

The building is monitored and each flat is equipped with a smart home system, air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. An electric car charger and a functional bicycle room have been installed in the underground two-storey garage.

The ideal place for really demanding clients

NEW IRON is more than just square metres, it is a reflection of the lifestyle of the people who will live in it. So who are the future residents? Certainly, they are people who understand the meaning of the word premium perfectly, who focus on quality, uniqueness, design, who are looking for something beyond what is available on the market. The non-obvious wins out. Given a choice between an original premium development and a globally unique residential concept, they will choose the latter without hesitation. Individuals who want to be part of a unique history, who appreciate design – who like to surround themselves with beautiful things and stay in elegant, stylish spaces – as well as business representatives will find their place in NEW IRON. For them, a flat in NEW IRON is a prestigious business card. The exclusive interiors of the ‘iron of Łódź’ are perfect as company – business flats, where visiting business representatives will feel more comfortable than in a hotel, where they can hold intimate business meetings. NEW IRON is also a great capital investment. Premium flats, unlike units in the popular segment, are immune to both the market crisis and the passage of time. They appreciate in value by at least ten per cent a year.

Buying a flat in the prestigious NEW IRON. Łódź is a good choice!

It is worth highlighting the fact that Lodz is important when choosing NEW IRON. This city is becoming a really great place to invest in premium flats. Firstly because of its convenient location in the heart of Poland, with a ring of motorways in every direction and close proximity to Warsaw. Secondly, it is one of the fastest growing cities in Poland, with an extremely rich history as a city of four cultures. Thirdly, it hosts more and more cultural, business and sporting events every year. Last but not least, this city is changing, not only in terms of economic development. Łódź is undergoing a major metamorphosis and is changing visually. Largely due to the revitalisation of tenements, it is regaining its former glory and attracting more and more visitors. NEW IRON, which is located in the very centre of the city at 22 Struga Street, a short walk from the iconic Piotrkowska Street, blends in perfectly with the Łódź atmosphere of the neighbouring tenement houses, creating a beautiful marriage of the old and the new. Without a doubt, it is currently the most fashionable address in Łódź.

Do you already see yourself in this place? If you feel that it is as unique as you are, suits your sophisticated needs or if you want to invest in a unique residential project with great potential – in a city that has spread its wings and offers a whole range of possibilities – don’t hesitate, buy a flat in NEW IRON.

In the palace gardens and on the marble floors of the residences, cats could count on luxurious living conditions, which were reflected in their refined habits and dignified behaviour. Monarchs treated them like true aristocrats, offering them top-quality food, expensive beds and special servants whose job it was to groom their royal companions.

Delightful tales of feline favourites at the courts can be found in historical chronicles. Kings and queens not only held their cats in high esteem, but also believed that they brought luck, protected against evil spirits and had the ability to foretell the future.

Nowadays, every cat owner also wants to provide the best possible living conditions for their pet. Cats are not just domestic companions, but often the most pampered members of the family. In return for their unconditional love and companionship, many of us are happy to provide them with a luxurious lifestyle. But what is luxury for a cat? Let’s find out how you can give your pet the best possible care.

Why Care for a Luxury Lifestyle for Your Cat?

It’s no secret that cats are animals that value comfort and well-being. They are known for their independence, but also for their need for closeness and comfort. Introducing a little luxury into their lives will not only improve their quality of life, but also make them healthier and more content. By taking care of their health, space, grooming and playtime, you can give your cat the life they deserve. Let’s look at how to do this step by step.

1. Premium diet – the essential element of luxury

Your cat’s health and well-being starts with what’s in their bowl. By choosing a premium food, you are providing your pet with the necessary nutrients. High-quality food that is rich in protein and healthy fats will give your cat energy and strength, as well as improving the condition of its coat and skin.

Avoid harmful products – Pay attention to the composition of the food and avoid products that contain artificial colours, preservatives and unhealthy fillers. Cats are carnivores, so choose food that contains a high meat content. This will help your cat feel better and keep its health at a high level.

Fresh water – In addition to adequate food, make sure your cat has constant access to fresh water. A great solution can be to purchase a cat fountain to provide your cat with running, clean water throughout the day. Not only is this convenient, but it’s also a way to keep your pet’s kidneys healthy.

Treats – Also, don’t forget healthy treats. Choose quality ones that support dental and gum health, while being a tasty luxury that your cat will love.

2. An Exciting and Safe Play Space

Cats love to play, run around and explore new places. To make your cat feel truly luxurious, provide a safe play space both indoors and outdoors. A cat patio, or fenced and secured outdoor space, is a great idea to allow your cat to interact with nature without exposing them to danger.

Tall scratching posts and platforms – Cats love to climb and observe their surroundings from heights. By investing in sturdy scratching posts, high towers and various platforms, you will not only provide your pet with entertainment but also a space to relax. It’s also worth stocking up on interactive toys to keep your cat occupied when you’re not at home.

Play tracks and tunnels – If you want to provide your cat with truly luxurious entertainment, consider purchasing play tracks, tunnels or automatic toys. These will keep your cat stimulated both physically and mentally, which will have a positive effect on their mood and condition.

3. Professional and regular grooming

Cats are known to take excellent care of their own hygiene, but regular help from you can make them feel like they’re in a real spa. Professional grooming sessions, which include bathing, claw trimming and brushing, are a great way to keep your cat looking and feeling fantastic.

Grooming thecoat – Depending on the breed and length of the coat, your cat may need regular brushing. High-quality brushes that do not irritate the skin will make grooming sessions enjoyable. In addition, grooming the coat prevents knots and excessive hair loss.

Clawsand massage – Claw trimming is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of health. Claws that are too long can cause pain and discomfort. Additionally, regular massage of your cat can help to relax, improve circulation and stimulate the immune system. It’s also a great way to build a bond with your pet.

4. Comfortable Lounges and Resting Areas

Cats spend a huge part of their day napping, so a luxurious sleeping area is crucial for them. Soft, comfortable beds or special pillows are an absolute must-have for any cat who likes to lounge. The ideal bed should be suited to the season – warm in winter and cool in summer.

Winter heated beds – In colder weather, consider purchasing a heated bed to provide your cat with extra warmth. Cats love cosy places, so this solution will be ideal on cold days.

Cathiding places – Cats feel safer when they have a place to hide. It’s worth investing in enclosed beds or ‘cat houses’ to give them a sense of privacy.

5. Litter tray – hygiene at the highest level

One of the most important things in a cat’s life should not be forgotten – litter trays. A well-chosen, comfortable and easily accessible litter tray is essential. Choosing the right type depends on your cat’s preferences. You will find a wide range of litter boxes in the shops: open, closed, self-cleaning, low and high.

Smell and cleanliness – A clean litter tray is a happy cat. Regular cleaning and the use of odour absorbers will keep your cat hygienic and comfortable. It is also worth trying scented or unscented litter, depending on what your cat prefers.

6. Love, Adoration and Daily Attention

Although many people think cats are loners, the truth is that these animals love the attention and presence of their guardian. Regular stroking, playing together and time spent together is a real luxury for a cat. Cats often demand attention by meowing, poking you with their paw or rubbing up against you.

Snuggle time together – Even the most independent cats need affection and attention. Making time for them strengthens the bond and provides them with a sense of security. Stay close when your cat needs it and they will return the love.

7. A routine that gives peace of mind

Cats are animals that value routine. It makes them feel safe and calm. Try to feed your cat at the same times, avoid moving the litter tray and limit the rearranging of furniture. The more stable the environment, the better your cat will feel. Older cats in particular can be sensitive to change, so try to avoid it.

Summary: The Luxury Life of a Cat

Providing your cat with a luxurious life is not just about investing in expensive gadgets, but more importantly, it’s about looking after your cat’s health, safety and love. Every cat deserves to be pampered and loved. Even the smallest gestures, such as affectionate stroking or a comfortable bed, can significantly improve his quality of life. With the above tips, your cat will not only be happy, but also full of energy and health.

Luxury Lifestyle Awards: Wetag Consulting has a remarkable history spanning nearly five decades. Could you share the key moments or turning points that have defined Wetag’s evolution as a boutique real estate agency?

Ueli Schnorf: When we acquired Wetag in the mid-Nineties, it was a small, traditional real estate company with aging owners whose best days were behind them. We didn’t want to lose money, so we gave it a push. Shortly after, Sotheby’s, who were building a European luxury network, became aware of us and invited us to become their affiliate. This was in 2000. I was elected to their European Advisory Board and quickly became acquainted with European luxury realtors. In 2004, when Sotheby’s sold their network to a franchise company, none of the European affiliates wanted to follow this path. Together with two other advisors, I co-founded the European Real Estate Network (EREN) with this group, where I have served as a director ever since.

In 2005, we successfully negotiated with Christie’s to invite suitable EREN members to become new Christie’s European affiliates, as Wetag has been since that year. These negotiations firmly anchored us in the international luxury scene, and we subsequently shifted Wetag’s focus entirely to luxury real estate. Over the years, we were approached by many international luxury associations for membership, but we couldn’t be everywhere. Whenever an international celebrity was among our buyers or sellers, word spread, though, of course, we never disclosed anything. Being voted Christie’s worldwide ‘Affiliate of the Year’ a few years ago was certainly a career highlight.

LLA: Wetag specializes in the luxury real estate market in Ticino. In your view, what sets Ticino apart from other regions in Switzerland, both in terms of lifestyle and real estate offerings?

US: Ticino is one of the Swiss cantons offering the possibility for tax agreements, an attractive feature for many. Unlike the rest of Switzerland, Ticino enjoys a much warmer and sunnier subtropical Mediterranean climate, with Italian as its language, and a lifestyle and cuisine to match. Fashion capital Milan is less than an hour’s drive away. The architecture here reflects the Mediterranean style, with villas and palazzi, while the gardens are filled with palm trees, banana plants, and orange trees. The grey winter skies of Zurich feel a world away.

LLA: Wetag Consulting recently secured the Luxury Lifestyle Award for the Best Luxury Real Estate Brokerage in Switzerland for the third time. What do you believe has been the driving factor behind Wetag’s consistent success in receiving this prestigious recognition?

US: We focus exclusively on luxury properties, leaving everything else aside. With our services, we aim to be among the best in the world, a goal we pursue through our extensive network of connections. We attend numerous international conferences throughout the year, closely monitoring every development in the luxury sector, and we implement what suits us long before it becomes the standard in Europe or Switzerland.

But above all, my partners, our entire team, and I are truly passionate about what we do. Passionate – you know what I mean? We love what we do; it’s not just work, it’s our life, and we want to do it well. And we make sure to have fun along the way; we’re like a group of friends. This enthusiasm naturally extends to our clients, many of whom become friends as well.

LLA: How have you seen the luxury real estate market in Ticino evolve over the years? Are there any current trends in buyer preferences or property design that stand out to you?

US: The Ticino luxury market is fueled by the continuous international demand for high-end residential properties. Over the past 20 years, we have served clients from more than 70 countries, each with distinct preferences. However, general trends show a strong inclination toward turn-key properties, modern technology, and contemporary architecture. Most buyers are not interested in investing time in renovations or extensive conversions.

LLA: Wetag’s clients are described as discerning and sophisticated. What are the main qualities or services they value most when searching for luxury properties, and how does Wetag tailor its approach to meet these needs?

US: The most important thing is to first understand the diverse needs of our clients and help them see how their desires can align with local realities and regulations. This often involves addressing key issues like residence permits and taxes. We don’t make empty promises; instead, we ensure they understand the potential drawbacks of each situation. But we don’t just point out problems—we solve them. That’s exactly what I would expect as a client in a foreign country, as simple as that.

LLA: As an exclusive member representing Ticino within global luxury real estate networks, how does this affiliation benefit your clients? What advantage does this bring to those seeking properties in the region?

US: First of all, being affiliated with a well-known name signals that we maintain a certain high standard of service. These networks also help channel potential clients to us. However, the majority of our clients find us independently, simply because we have a reputation for fulfilling their needs exceptionally well. Additionally, we have many contacts who come to us when they want to buy or sell property abroad – whether in Australia, Argentina, or elsewhere. We can offer valuable assistance and connect them with the right people.

LLA: As an executive business owner who also calls Ticino home, how does living in the region influence the way you approach the real estate market? Does it give Wetag an edge in understanding what truly matters to buyers?

US: Yes, living in Ticino certainly helps when it comes to understanding the everyday aspects that matter to buyers – such as schools, sports, and shopping. However, I believe it’s even more important to travel extensively and study real estate offerings and practices in other countries. This hands-on experience allows us to truly understand what’s essential in the global luxury market and implement those insights for our clients.

LLA: Looking ahead, what are your goals for Wetag Consulting over the next few years? How do you envision the Ticino real estate market evolving, and how is Wetag preparing for that future?

US: Switzerland will likely continue to be an attractive place to live, though political decisions or global events could change that. We closely monitor these developments and ensure we stay competitive, never resting on our laurels. We regularly gather feedback from our clients and use an independent qualification system to keep improving – feel free to check our website for more details. Financially, we remain conservative; we have no debts, no loans, and no creditors. This independence allows us to act quickly and adapt to any market changes.

LLA: Throughout your career at Wetag, what has been one of your most memorable or rewarding experiences in helping a client find their dream property in Ticino?

US: Oh, there have been so many memorable moments. One that stands out is when I was called by an elderly couple looking to sell their unique villa and asked for advice on how to proceed. I could see that this lovely couple, who had traveled the world, would be unhappy anywhere else. Instead of encouraging them to sell, I suggested they transform their villa to better suit their needs as they aged. They looked at each other and agreed, saying, “We think Mr. Schnorf is a wise man, and we will follow his advice.” Years later, after her husband had passed, the widow called me for guidance on what to do next. This experience taught me an important lesson: it’s vital to prioritize what’s right for the clients over quick profits. That approach will pay off in the long run.

Conclusion

Ueli Schnorf’s passion for Ticino and his intimate understanding of the region’s market have made Wetag a true leader in the industry. With a personalized approach, global network connections, and dedication to client satisfaction, Wetag is set to maintain its legacy of success in connecting clients with their dream properties in this captivating region.

Founded by the husband-and-wife team of Mait Lauri (CEO) and Alesja Kovalenko-Lauri, Ako In has carved a niche for itself in designing captivating interiors for both residential and public spaces. Their passion lies in creating havens that not only cater to a luxurious aesthetic but also foster a deep connection with the surrounding environment.

Ako In is a seasoned company specializing in interior and building design since 2005. Their expertise spans from conceptualizing architectural projects to final execution, encompassing a deep understanding of the intricate workings of architecture and technical systems. While primarily focused on interior design, they occasionally undertake entire projects from architectural design to interior decoration, yielding award-winning results. Noteworthy clients include Telia, Philip Morris International, and Euronics, with a portfolio ranging from luxury interiors to retail spaces and public venues like hotels and restaurants.

Led by principal designer Alesja Kovalenko-Lauri, known for her creativity and keen sense of color, Ako In emphasizes collaborative teamwork. Supported by a dedicated technician, the three-member team ensures meticulous attention to detail in every project. The company’s name, Ako In, is a nod to Alesja’s artistic roots, derived from her signature “Ako” on artworks from her school days, culminating in Alesja Kovalenko Interiors.

The Milena House project perfectly exemplifies this philosophy. Situated amidst the verdant embrace of Tänassilma village in Estonia, the client’s brief was refreshingly straightforward: a desire for both luxury and a profound connection with nature. The Ako In team embarked on a collaborative journey with the client, carefully deciphering their vision to translate it into a tangible living space.

From Inside Out: A Design Process Rooted in Nature

The famous American architect Frank Gehry said: “A lot of people don’t get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it’s important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic”. Mait Lauri likes Gehry`s idea, because the whole point of designing a house is to make it for the humans inside. With Milena house, they had a unique chance to make the house from inside-out.

One thing that has always been the company’s goal, is to not create same thing in all projects. When client hire them, they must know that their interior will be unique, not copy-paste from earlier projects. So, each project is unique, because each client is unique. For example – the fireplace in Milena, it was a masterpiece. Did Da Vinci paint Mona Lisa several times? No, and neither does Ako In. For the next project, they’ll design something different; something that is inspired by a particular place, room, or client. They generate new ideas in each project, and this expands their skills to face new challenges.

A Merging of Luxury and Nature

Stepping into Milena House is akin to entering a haven of refined elegance. Expansive windows serve as portals to the surrounding forest, blurring the line between the indoors and the outdoors. Deer grazing peacefully outside becomes part of the everyday experience, and foxes and lynxes also appear every now and then, fostering a sense of tranquility and immersion in nature.

The pièce de résistance of the home undoubtedly is the captivating two-sided fireplace. Strategically positioned to divide the dining and living areas, it features a luxurious combination of Black Fusion granite and rich wood panels. This visually stunning centerpiece exudes warmth and sophistication, becoming a natural focal point for gatherings and relaxation.

Ako In’s focus on sustainability shines through in their timeless design philosophy. They believe that a well-crafted interior, built on high-quality materials and infused with a touch of designer ingenuity, transcends fleeting trends. This approach ensures that Milena House remains a sanctuary of comfort and luxury for years to come.

A Legacy of Award-Winning Design

The Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2024 is just the latest feather in Ako In’s well-deserved cap. Their dedication to exceptional design has garnered them recognition in Estonia and beyond. Their portfolio boasts accolades like Best Wood Building of the Year 2009, Best Museum Interior Design, and Best Building of the Year awards for residential and commercial projects. Their reach extends beyond Estonian borders, with completed projects in Finland and Latvia, showcasing their versatility and ability to translate their design philosophy across cultures.

A Family Business with a Global Vision

Ako In’s story perfectly showcases the power of family, passion, and steadfast focus on quality. With a keen eye for detail, a dedication to sustainability, and a global vision, Ako In is poised to continue transforming dreams into award-winning realities for discerning clients worldwide.
